The Wedding Banquet (2025) 88% B+ “This is just a lovely movie, with so much heart and sincerity that we can’t help but want the best for everyone we meet.” – The MacGuffin Apr 18, 2025 Full Review G20 (2025) 58% B- “When it comes to surface level kinetic energy, I liked a lot of what G20 had to offer...In terms of its political and social commentary, the film doesn’t work quite as well.” – The MacGuffin Apr 12, 2025 Full Review Freaky Tales (2024) 74% B+ “It operates on tone and attitude. It has fun doing what it does and invites us to join in.” – The MacGuffin Apr 4, 2025 Full Review The Friend (2024) 83% B- “It contains good performances, both human and dog, and tackles heavy themes with earnestness and maturity.” – The MacGuffin Apr 4, 2025 Full Review Holland (2025) 21% C- “I came away uninterested by the themes, unmoved by the drama, and unaffected by the thrills.” – The MacGuffin Mar 30, 2025 Full Review The Assessment (2024) 82% C+ “Although the performances are good, the tone, character development, and overall story ends up all over the place. ” – The MacGuffin Mar 21, 2025 Full Review The Electric State (2025) 15% C- “It’s a movie that aims for a heartfelt tale of family and togetherness but comes off as cloying and superficial.” – The MacGuffin Mar 15, 2025 Full Review Seven Veils (2023) 77% B “A fascinating viewing experience – filled with good sequences and even better acting.” – The MacGuffin Mar 7, 2025 Full Review Queen of the Ring (2024) 73% B- “This is an ordinary picture about an extraordinary person.” – The MacGuffin Mar 7, 2025 Full Review The Monkey (2025) 79% B+ “Its main goal is to draw us in and engage us with off the wall shenanigans and gruesome hysterics.” – The MacGuffin Feb 26, 2025 Full Review The Gorge (2025) 63% B- “The Gorge is far from perfect, but that might be the very reason it works.” – The MacGuffin Feb 18, 2025 Full Review Captain America: Brave New World (2025) 48% C- “This iteration of Cap is a complete blank slate – devoid of moral standing or social cognizance. Because the character is made to see everything straight down the middle, we have no idea what he stands for.” – The MacGuffin Feb 16, 2025 Full Review Kinda Pregnant (2025) 29% D “We are forced to bear witness to scene after scene of ridiculous comedy, where we can see the punchlines coming from a mile away and whose plot is so generic we start to forget about it even while watching it.” – The MacGuffin Feb 6, 2025 Full Review You're Cordially Invited (2025) 48% B “This is a case of a movie catching me at the exact right place and time. What can I say? I had fun with this one.” – The MacGuffin Feb 2, 2025 Full Review Inheritance (2025) 54% B+ “Featuring an interesting visual design, a solid lead performance, and a thumping electronic score, Burger and his team took limited resources and squeezed the most out of them.” – The MacGuffin Jan 24, 2025 Full Review Back in Action (2025) 28% C- “Diaz and Foxx may have had fun teaming up, but that doesn’t make for a fun viewing experience.” – The MacGuffin Jan 19, 2025 Full Review Ad Vitam (2025) 43% C- “One could say that this is the type of flick to watch while doing laundry or while on a plane ride. But by those standards, you could probably still do better.” – The MacGuffin Jan 15, 2025 Full Review Den of Thieves: Pantera (2025) 62% B “Although the sequel doesn’t quite live up to its predecessor, Gudegast once again shows his proficiency and thoughtfulness for the genre. ” – The MacGuffin Jan 13, 2025 Full Review Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl (2024) 100% A- “I’m thankful to be living in a world where Wallace & Gromit exist.” – The MacGuffin Jan 2, 2025 Full Review Nosferatu (2024) 84% B+ “Robert Eggers continues to impress with yet another work that is dark, menacing, and spellbinding all at the same time. It may not reinvent the wheel, but it does a damn good job of recreating it.” – The MacGuffin Dec 25, 2024 Full Review Carry-On (2024) 88% B+ “If you need some alternative programming for the holidays, this might be it.” – The MacGuffin Dec 17, 2024 Full Review Maria (2024) 75% B “The glossiness and shine of its surfaces cannot be denied, it is a sight to behold. But for some reason, I couldn’t connect with its heart.” – The MacGuffin Dec 11, 2024 Full Review Nightbitch (2024) 59% C “The topics don’t emerge from the material organically. It pushes us to its desired destination instead of letting us get there on our own.” – The MacGuffin Dec 6, 2024 Full Review Blitz (2024) 81% C+ “It is a handsomely made, well-acted WWII picture, but it is also McQueen’s most conventional undertaking, which in turn makes it his least interesting.” – The MacGuffin Nov 22, 2024 Full Review Emilia Pérez (2024) 72% C- “This production is simply an oddity, a hybrid of sharp angles and rough edges. It contains a multitude of pieces that never come together to make a coherent whole.” – The MacGuffin Nov 15, 2024 Full Review
